We chose La Belle Epoque for our one week ski holiday from a myriad of other properties in Chamonix based on having two bedrooms, its central location, cost and ease of communication with the owner. We couldn't have been happier with this very homely and comfortable apartment! It is well furnished and has been lovingly decorated with location pictures and maps. A lot of useful information was provided both before our arrival and within the apartment which meant we were ready for a week of full-on skiing rather than working out where we should be going. For us, having a lift in the building was wonderful when lugging heavy suitcases around Europe as well as the apartment's close proximity to Chamonix railway station. The icing on the cake was the wonderful library of books, dvd's and games in the apartment which kept us entertained at nights. All this, together with bucket loads of snow made for a truly memorable holiday and we will be itching to get back to Chamonix and La Belle Epoque as a result. Response: I'm so pleased you enjoyed my apartment in Chamonix so much. Regards the internet connection, I'm pleased to report that the apartment now has its own high speed Wifi broadband. |

I recently stayed in La Belle Epoque and thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. Great location, near to to restaurants, bars etc and the slopes also easily accessible. The apartment has everything you need and more with everything very well organised. Would highly recommend and plan on returning at some point in the future. Response: I'm so pleased you enjoyed my apartment and it's location. I really hope to see you again sometime. |
